And we are idiots!
I never really thought about it until recently, but for all the good AVALANCHE says it's doing it just seems to make things worse. Arguably, they did save the day in the end, but they were a direct cause of all the havoc wrought up until then.
They destroyed two Mako reactors for the "sake of the planet", not realizing or not caring that they were directly affecting the inhabitants of the planet. THAT'S KIND OF AN IMPORTANT FACTOR THERE! What's the point of saving an inhabitable planet if you don't care about the inhabitants? They killed hundreds with that act of rebellion, and caused the deaths of many more when Shin-Ra dropped the Sector 7 plate.
Granted, the adventure they set out on after those incidents was of a noble cause, but then Cloud's crazy ass decided to hand over the most destructive Materia ever known to be made to one of the world's most dangerous people, effectively dooming the entire planet. Yeah, I know, he wasn't in control of his own body, but he had shown multiple signs of being off his rocker up until this point. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong in my logic, I just know that I wouldn't feel safe giving Opie a hand grenade and hoping he throws it in the right direction. Kind of a shot in the dark, Barret relinquishing his leadership to Cloud.
THEN, after the government steps in to fix this new mess AVALANCHE has caused in the best way they think possible, the damn idiots decide to sabotage this new contingency plan by stealing all of the Big Materia. I think maybe it would have been a good idea if they didn't hide it all away in Bugenhagen's observatory! That's just stingy.
Not only that, but the WEAPONs' rampage is a little bit entirely their fault as well. If Sephiroth never found the Black Materia the WEAPONs never would have woken because Meteor never would have been summoned, and Junon and Midgar would have remained un-attacked! More people dead, look at that!
Don't get me wrong, I love FFVII, it's my favorite installment, I'm just baffled as to how I never noticed that we are essentially in control of a very driven and rebellious terrorist group.
